Some other way?

Question
Hi! Thank you for your help! I was just wondering if you could help me. See, I don't have a whole lot of money, so is there a different type of transportation to carry the hamster in? And also, about how big should the pieces of veggies be? Thanks for the help!                           Melissa

Answer
Hi again Melissa,

please dont think i am being rude or nasty, but you really do need to make sure you have enough money to take your hamster to the vet incase he needed to go - maybe you should wait to get a hamster until you have some money saved up incase the hamster did need to go to a vet?

You really do need a proper carrier to transport them in - the box needs to be big enough for the hamster to move around in but also small enough so that the hamster cannot hurt himself - it also needs to have plenty of airholes and plenty of air circulation.

One small slice of cucumber or carrot will be fine.

Kind Regards,
